Eddy Montes Praslin
On Thursday, May 16, 2019, prisoners in pavilion 61 of La Modelo were attacked with firearms by the prison guards. In the context of the repression, prisoner Eddy Montes Praslin was hit in the groin by a shot that other prisoners say was fired from one of the prison towers.
Eddy Montes’ family hired a private forensic examiner to explore the cause of his death in detail via an autopsy performed at the Forensic Examiner’s Office. The result of the autopsy, however, was never shared with the family.
